Force Actuator (GDSFA)

The GDS Force Actuator (GDSFA) is a general purpose loading system with continuous displays of force, displacement and feedback control. Force is measured by a load cell which can either be fixed to the end of the thrust cylinder or which can be fixed to some other part of the apparatus under test.
